Why Us 

You could take your talents anywhere. We know that. You know that. So, let’s cut to the chase - we're a plaintiff personal injury law firm that started over 20 years ago and has grown into a multi-million-dollar boutique law firm with over 160 employees. We take our clients seriously and fight against big insurance companies trying to screw them over. We are aggressive advocates. We will exhaust every option, every avenue, to get our clients what they deserve. Just look back at our successful history of thousands of clients who we’ve built relationships with to see the proof. 

But what sets us apart? Our commitment to top-tier office culture. Across our six office locations dispersed through central and east Texas, you'll find a team who exceed in excellence in their work ethic, enthusiasm, and commitment to our social contract. It's no wonder we have a high retention of employees. But don't just take our word for it. See what our current employees think! 

“DS is respected, valued, and we all learn from people that love to do what they do. We have the "work and life balance" many firms don't have, and the culture of this Firm is like no other.” 

“This kind of work culture is hard to find. Upper management is communicative, the training is thorough, the work is satisfying (to me!), and the firm takes good care of its employees.” 

As much as we want you to sell us on why you're our ideal candidate, we want to sell you on why we think we're your ideal place to work. We may be biased, but Daniel Stark is one of the most rewarding places to develop and grow your professional work experience. Your professional development won’t end after your training period. Your attorney team lead will continue to help you grow and develop and be a resource to you. Our team gives us 100% and in turn, we invest 100% right back into them.
